The journey begins with the haunting poster of RMS Titanic, a stark reminder of the fateful night when the majestic ship was mercilessly devoured by icy waters. From there, we delve into the Spanish version of the Titanic film, offering a unique perspective on this tragic event that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Venturing further back in time, we encounter "The Sheep-Eater of Hindustan, " a chilling legend where unsuspecting villagers fall prey to a mysterious creature lurking in their midst. The tale takes an even darker turn as we witness Jezebel being devoured by dogs, her fate sealed by her own treacherous actions. Moving beyond legends and folklore, we explore heraldic shields adorned with Italian coat-of-arms depicting a snake devouring a man - symbolic representations of power dynamics and conquests throughout history. Similarly unsettling is witnessing a hyena falling victim to a polar bear at a menagerie – nature's brutal hierarchy unfolding before our eyes. As if drawn from nightmares themselves, vivid lithographs depict wolves attacking wedding parties in Hungary or barbaric fathers facing punishment in Russia. These macabre scenes serve as reminders that even amidst joyous celebrations or familial bonds lies vulnerability waiting to be devoured. From real-life accounts comes Lieutenant Gauthret's harrowing demise at the jaws of tigers in Annam – his bravery ultimately no match for these formidable predators. And then there's "The Last Judgement, " where monstrous creatures feast upon helpless souls; an eerie portrayal reminding us that sometimes evil prevails over good.
